‘Good thing’ Selangor not funding Amanah campaign in Sungai Besar, DAP says

PETALING JAYA, June 3 ― Selangor DAP chairman Tony Pua praised today Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali’s overt move to separate his state government from supporting ally Parti Amanah Negara’s candidate in the Sungai Besar parliamentary by-election.

Pua said the Pakatan Harapan pact is against using state resources for political projects, including its member parties’ campaigning.

“By-elections should be conducted between political parties and not by abusing state or national resources,” the Petaling Jaya Utara MP told a news conference here.

“It is a good thing the Selangor state government is not using the state funds to campaign during by-elections,” he said.

Pua was asked to comment on Azmin’s absence at Pakatan Harapan functions promoting its candidate for the June 18 vote.

Azmin is also PKR deputy president.
